sard.....what college did you go to? was it a leftist bastion? college was the only place that ive been surounded with large amouts of conservatives.....
i believe the leftist label to be an untrue label that is the result of the teaching of "critical thinking" in college.....which of course is the opposite of reactionary thinking which is embodied by "the right"
critical thinking vs reactionary thinking is the basic difference between the two groups of voters referred to as liberal or conservative- not states rights or smaller goverment or more taxes vs less taxes

You're right! Thanks for clearing that up, Rory! Now I understand why Fox News is so "Fair and Balanced"!  And it must be because all you wingnuts are so into reason and logic that your standard political tactic is lie and smear.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

conservatives approach and address isssues with reason and logic.
Which is why Rory is no conservative. Plus, he hates the Constitution.

"Critical thinking..." Vladimir summed that bit up nicely, I believe he used the term "useful idiots" to describe what you call critical thinkers, liberals, leftist, Democrats, etc. Funny how the penquins call anything that might have anything to do with flight, wingnuts for instance, names. One thing about it a penquin always knows where it's derriere is. Very close to the ground, or ice pack if you will. Hooray for wingnuts, better than that loose brass screw in your navel suckersnagger. Better tighten it up or your head is at risk.

What questions were those Lupo? I answered your question about my college experiences. Actually I forgot a couple of quarters at Green River JC at Boeings expense. What has the Terrie Schiavo debacle got to do with this?

I'm happy for you. Your ability to come to conclusions speaks well for you. Even tho' you have difficulty discerning the difference in a cwt of BS and a bit of accurate and concise commentary. Trout, no your anal fin is too underdeveloped, even tho' the lateral line seems right the face is more dog.

You're correct Aunty Moo. I am lazy, guilty as charged. Why devote a few paragraphs to the inane Bs posted on some of these threads when a couple of sentences will do. And that being more than most of em deserve. I think most of your input is just looking for a fight so you can stroke your ego. NO one can win an argument with a professional biscuit burner. I do admire your use of a bit of Latin now and then. Makes you look good. Dead fish dead language.

Sorry Auntie M. I have no need to prove you wrong. It will do nothing for me. Won't improve my fishing, won't improve my ability to see what's over the next ridge. zip, nada. I admit to being amused by what passes for intellectual rhetoric on the forum. Don't misunderstand, that isn't a better than thou, posture. Just amused. You gotta admit the name calling, trash mouth behaviour and nasty sexual innuendo is more indicative of juveniles than adults. W is screwing up big time, I am disappointed in his position on many issues that effect us all. Still better than Kerry and company. Ciao

Ciao "Still better than Kerry and company." Sardonicus, how about elaborating on that assertion? You obviously have a very high opinion of yourself, so give us something substantive. Explain how Bush is better than Kerry and company so there is something to respond to. "Where's the beef?"

Well, lets see. The republicans have managed to double the national debt so far. The entitlement programs will bankrupt the nation in the next 20 years. Spending has increased by one third goverment has grown by a quarter and all this while revenue has dropped by nearly one third. It isn't what the republicans have given us it is what they have given the next two generations. Each and every one in the U.S now owes neartly $80 grand as their share of the current debt, but wait there is more. Every ones share goes to $240 grand when you count in entitlement programs like Mediacare, Medicade and Social Security. So ask again what G. Dumbya and the Republicans have given us. The ship is sinking and G.W. is at the helm

There's some logic....we haven't had a crash like 1929 yet so things aren't so bad. If things do get that bad I'm sure our govt will hire people from China and India to dish out your soup Rory.

stlhead,
In case you missed it, the point was that liberals are always complaining how bad things are--However, when you ask they almost always say they personally are doing just fine...it's the 'the guy' down the street he's worried about.

Funny, See Aunty. there might be a few that would like to debate the issue. However, most just want a strawman to practice their bayonet technique on. To print something good about W will just bring the bedbugs out of the wood work. Besides it's getting harder to find something good. How about ' he's not a socialistic fake hero that had his plan on the presidency for the last 20+ years go awry'.

Nothing, Only hatered, it's kinda of like the peace activists punching cops in the face. It's so easy to bash and never come to the table with anything but how you have done everything wrong.

I would say to all you apologists that recognizing there is a problem is the first step to recovery.
But there is no problem is there...

Funny it seems all the cons can do is accuse libs of not having a plan. I don't seem to hear any plans from the party that's in control...

I seem to recall GW proposing a plan to give young workers the opportunity to divert at least a tiny amount (4% ?) of their present SS donation into private retirement accounts. And the Demos gave themselves a standing ovation at the SOTU party for blocking GW's plan..
Personally I believe that, due to our public education system, that "younger" workers are so clue-less as to what is going in todays' world that they are in deep trouble.
